We have performed studies concerning ways to improve public transit, increase ridership, and evaluate the full benefits of various forms of public transit. Our analysis tends to expand the range of impact considered in transit program evaluation. We are often called on to respond to unfair criticisms of transit.

We have performed detailed studies on the benefits, costs, equity impacts and implementation requirements of various transportation pricing reforms, including Pay-As-You-Drive vehicle insurance, parking pricing, tax reforms, and transit fare changes. In several cases this has lead to implementation of the recommended reforms.

We have helped develop nonmotorized plans and guides that identify practical ways to improve walking and cycling conditions, strategies to encourage more nonmotorized transportation, and we have performed evaluations of the full benefits of walking and cycling.
